Faraday Future (FF), a Chinese-backed American start-up, rolled out a prototype FF91 electric car in Las Vegas on Jan. 3.
A veteran strategic partner of LeSEE, a subsidiary of LeEco known by its previous name of LeTV in China, FF is going to allow early orders of the car for a reservation fee of US$5,000, while the cars are scheduled to be delivered in 2018.
At the press conference, FF released several parameters of the car, including 783-killowatt peak power, 1,050 horsepower, 1,800-newton peak torque, 130 kWh capacity of a battery pack and a range of 700 kilometers.
According to FF, the car can drive for at least 500 kilometers after being charged for an hour and the company is combining its own network with third parties to expand charging sites and relevant facilities.
Hong Bae, FF's director of Advanced Drive Assistance Systems (ADAS) & Self Driving, said the FF91 is the first vehicle in the world to replace car keys with face scanning and bluetooth sensors.
Jia Yueting, FF's investor and founder in LeEco, said, "Our undertakings are supposed to go beyond the business of simply selling electric vehicles, because there is a broader view about building an online eco system of transport that can be shared by the entire world."
